Google SDTT error: "The specified item is not specified in the review."

Question

I checked my Rich Snippets website in the Google Rich Snippets tool and it had an error:

There is no specified element specified in the overview.

How to fix it?

Code:

<div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating"> <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> stars - based on <span itemprop="reviewCount">21</span> reviews </div>

The error message is pretty clear, with one of the problems you have, but this is not the only problem with the code that you submitted. Another problem is that you used itemprop without the item for which this property is.

AggregateRating requires an item that is being evaluated. You cannot have AggregateRating without specifying what this refers to. There are two ways to do this (do not do both of them):

• Use the containing object and set the AggregateRating property as a property. You (kind of) suggested that this is what you are trying to use itemprop without containing an element. If you want to use this, you need to wrap your itemprop in a suitable item. Suitable products are: Product, Brand, Offer, Event, Organization, Place, Service, CreativeWork. These elements define the aggregateRating property, which may contain AggregateRating.

   <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product"> <div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating"> <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> stars - based on <span itemprop="reviewCount">21</span> reviews </div> <!-- other Product properties --> </div> 

• Use the itemReviewed property for AggregateRating, indicating the Item that the rating points to. Remember to remove itemprop from your question code if you use it.

   <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating"> <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> stars - based on <span itemprop="reviewCount">21</span> reviews <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product"> <!-- Product properties --> </div> </div>

You must use the LocalBusiness scheme to fix this error. I have the same error message for my page. Then I put the LocalBusiness Schema code after everything works fine.

For sample code, you can go to the schema page: http://schema.org/LocalBusiness Or you can check my site, which I have is correct. Didi Designer Studio
